Letters to the Editor: Closure of in style Echo Park constitution college could be ‘a tragedy’

To the editor: To shut Gabriella Constitution College could be a tragedy for college kids and their households, academics and supporters (“A preferred constitution faces closure to make extra room for an LAUSD college,” Oct. 16).

Gabriella, whose origins have root in making a tragic loss of life rely for L.A.’s underserved kids, is a good college: rigorous, disciplined and joyous. College students know they’re secure and cherished by academics and directors who’re excited by their laborious work and reference to them.

The truth of the varsity “specializing in dance instruction” is that girls and boys of all sizes, in all grades, take a dance class taught by an expert dancer each day. Some excel and change into members of a dance troupe that performs across the metropolis. Others overcome their embarrassment to train and carry out for his or her proud mother and father. Dance is a part of their curriculum. The kindergartners dance the alphabet as they study.

The college board ought to spare the group this tragedy, compounded as it might be with so many others.
